    Pretty bad campaign overall, horribly imbalanced and greatly favoured towards the infected. I'm assuming this was intended to be played on modded servers because even with a 4 player team, beating this on anything above normal difficulty can be very difficult. To start off on chapter 1, it's a very simple chapter and it introduces you to the campaign's gimmick, which is tacking a ride on a vehicle for a long stretch of distance whilst you're assaulted by the infected. This chapter actually plays well and is probably my favourite of the bunch. 
    
    Chapter 2 introduces a bit more free roaming, albeit in a very linear manner. There's a somewhat cool custom objective where you build a bridge, but it's very simplistic. 
    
    Chapter 3 is where the BS factor really gets turned up a notch. Oh and I forgot to mention, there's never any supplies in the saferooms which is just a really dumb design choice, because if you're low HP from the previous chapter, you have to hobble your way to wherever the supplies are located, which admittedly probably aint too far from the saferoom, but still, it's an unnecessary annoyance. The end of chapter 3 offers zero direction on where you're supposed to go after delivering the cola, so you're forced to restart once or twice to figure out the correct way to go.... I hope you have high willpower...
    Chapter 4 is extremely confusing to non-english speakers as you're given no direction on what you're supposed to do, I'm assuming the objective is layed out on the notice board outside the saferoom, but if you don't understand Chinese, you're ******. The chapter ends with another vehicle ride.
    
    Chapter 5 is even more nonsense, featuring a crap ton more tanks compared to before... limited supplies on a very long ride to the saferoom, and is pretty frustrating.
    The finale ends up being wayy easier than the previous chapters as you have a ton more breathing room thankfully, so at least it doesn't end on a headache too...
    
    Conclusion; avoid playing this with bots, if you have a 4 man team, you can maybe have some fun, but I wouldn't recommend it.

    Playable, but prepare to fight with almost no throwables

    Well, because the description of this campaign is too short & unclear, many people might have no idea of what kind of campaign it is. This campaign is actually not bad, but it's just average. Most parts of this campaign are about riding on transportation units while shooting zombies. There are ammo piles on the transportation units so players can refill ammo anytime they want. Bot navigation is good.
    .
    However, there are some minus points that need fixing, like:
    1. There's almost no throwable. In my play, I only found pipe bombs inside a cave.
    2. There's a bug early on map 1 on the 1st tank's spawn. When that 1st tank spawns, the transportation unit will stop for few seconds. If that tank is killed too fast while the transportation unit stops, the transportation unit will never move & players will have to restart the game. To avoid this bug, don't kill the tank until the transportation unit moves again.
    3. On a map when there's a cola event, the area is very wide with tall plants & incoming attack never stops. This cola event will be difficult in Expert difficulty, especially because of there's no throwable around.
    4. On a map when survivors are riding a raft, there are some tanks spawning on top of towers. The tanks can be killed, but they will throw rocks. So literally it would be a rock-shooting competition. & in Expert difficulty, one rock can incapacitate a survivor, while there are several towers to pass & each tower is with a tank on it.
    5. On a map with "Let's Build" feature where survivors need to build the transportation unit, there's no glow on most objects needed to interact. This could cause confusion on players playing this for the first time.
    .
    So in short, aside from the minus points I mentioned above, this campaign is playable with bots or other players.

End of results.
